JB Pritzker on running for Pres in 24 or 28: “I’m flattered. It’s not that I am not running because President Biden is running” just “dedicated to the job I have today” “Biden has done a superior job .. I am pleased to be able to support him for reelection” #TheFiftyGovernors

Notable takeaways from the list of 41 recall candidates: Less than 1/3 the size of 2003 field, no prominent Democratic politicians entered the race and talk show host Larry Elder apparently didn't qualify. politico.com/states/californ…

+100 And to @Giambusso for tirelessly leading the team. And for probably not sleeping in the process.
Hats off to @SallyGold, @joeanuta and the rest of @politico's New York team for smart, relentless reporting throughout the campaign.

Congratulations to NYT Publisher’s Award winner @maggieNYT. She wrote 1600 (!!) stories that upheld the promise of the Fourth Estate while withstanding unimaginable online harassment. She’s humble and it’s impossible to be jealous of someone so kind which is really annoying. 🌟
